Here's a long random personal news comment in a attempt to bring up BenK thread in that magical willowy way.

So, day before yesterday, the dentist (finally) re-filled my lost filling. Hooray for modern painless dentistry! I'm a time-traveler from the 1950s where, not only was it was more primitive, but the family dentist's idea of "painless" was "Buck up, kid. You can take it."

Still don't like the drilling part. Painless it may be, but there's the screech of the drilling and the smell of burnt bone which evokes my childhood trauma and anyway yuck, right? But this time was the easiest drilling ever since he just had to clean up the existing hole. So there's that. TMI?

The tooth is a wisdom tooth, and, apparently, he really doesn't want to build me a crown 'way back up there. Can't blame him. I'll get by, I guess.... I'm fond of my teeth. Had them most of my life.

My cousin in the hospital woke up enough to pull the feeding tube out of her nose and fight off the nurses trying to re-insert it. And she only has use of one arm. Good to know she has her fire. Thanks for prayers & thoughts for her continuing recovery. She's improving a little.

The furnace guy came out yesterday, assessed that it was indeed the vent fan that was shot, and said he could be back out here in the afternoon today to replace it. So, looks like we won't have mid-Winter heat interruption. Meanwhile, the vent fan sounds like a truck engine.

Did it work?
